Hello everyone!
Well, this is actually a "talk proposal for someone else". I'd be the
audience, not the speaker.
TITLE: D Programming in D (Or: Writing idiomatic D code)
ABSTRACT: Every language has its own sanctified idioms. Beginners
learning a new language tend to use the idioms of the languages they
already know in the new language. This is no different for someone
learning D, so we have people doing, say, "C++ programing in D" or
"Lua programming in D". This is not the best way to go. Learning the D
idioms is a very important step to move from "I can write D programs"
to "I know D". This talk presents a survey of the most important
idioms commonly used by the D community. Hopefully, it will help you
to start doing "D programming in D".
SPEAKER BIO: < Your bio here :-) >
I would *really* love to watch a talk (or read a book for that
matter), dealing with this kind of topic. I suppose many other
programmers coming from other languages would benefit from a talk like
this. And considering that we'll have the videos online after the
conference, I'd say that this would become a mostly valuable reference
for all the people that will join D. (We want a million users, right?
They'd all love this talk ;-) )
So, anyone else interested in watching a talk like this?
Anyone interested in *giving* a talk like this?
Cheers,
LMB
PS: It's really great we did it! The news made my day yesterday! I am
pretty sure it will be a great conference! (Even if no one decides to
give the "D Programming in D" talk ;-) )

I'd like to add, maybe put some focus on "Range" oriented
coding seeing as Phobos is full or ranges etc...

And how it simplifies code because of it. Several times I've
written a small range struct which handle managing blocks of
memory (and lots of low level arithmetic); This removes the need
for multiple extra variables handling location and low level
counting when all you want to worry about is each item.
Perhaps a talk on templates as well, when to use them, where to
use them.
Actually something I'd like some time is a video concentrating
on a particular part of the library where they explain why they
set it up the way they did (arguments, examples) as well as how
to use some of the more complex use cases. I can do one involving
my primes range (as an example).
Hmmm a section also on when to use various key words (pure,
safe, nothrow, inout); Multiple times I've tried to add tags to
better represent my functions only to have it break all over the
place (because a nothrow calls something that's not a nothrow
(but should/could be), 'to' is not pure, etc).
Concentrating on the ranges more, once the transient front part
gets settled (and if it's allowed) a part on when to use it (and
how to declare it).
Perhaps a part on how to properly use D without involving the GC.
Hmmm so many more things I could throw in...
